the protein advice is awesome. I didn't know that about body weight and grams per day. Being veg its definitely harder to aquire, but i'm gonna start focusing on that. I usually base my diet around a 2000 calorie a day give or take 100 or so. I do the smaller portions as well.

my usual day is something like this:

Oatmeal
ride to work: 3 miles
Gym
Banana
Small Sandwhich with hummus and fake meat for lunch w/COOKIES!!
clif bar/pb&J sandwhich
ride home: 3 miles
Dinner: pasta dish with eggplants/zucchini/mushrooms, or rice and beans, or lentils....i love cooking..it varies.
Post-dinner dinner: rice cakes w/pb&j

Then three times a week, add 2 laps around central park to the excercise of riding and gyming.
i feel hungry constantly though. I wanna get up to 100 mile weeks. I'm almost there with leisure riding and stuff.
